The S Canal was clear at 1pm today.
Top baits this week for me were the Zman Jackhammers, Chug Bugs and the Mike Bucca 5″ Bull Gill Bone color.
JT and I had a blast fishing together yesterday and filmed an episode of JT Kenney’s Florida Bass for next season. It will be a good one for sure. We caught a bunch of fish on Jackhammers and we landed a giant Florida Trophy catch fish too, which was awesome!
I’m fishing the half ounce green pumpkin or golden shiner Jackhammers in areas with scattered hydrilla and in ditches. I use a 4.5″ Hogfarmer Spunk Shad in green pumpkin magic or TN Shad. Fishing these on flats with scattered hydrilla or along ditches with hydrilla lines.
I’m fishing my Chug Bugs and popping baits around Shad schools along canal edges that have loads of bait or out on sparse hydrilla covered flats.
The Mike Bucca Bullshad 5” Bull Gill in bone color is my go to swimbait. I’m fishing these along thick grass edges near deep sharp drops. Get on the Bullshad email mailing list so you can get the bait drop info. The only way to get the Trick Shad and Glides are go to a bait show that Bullshad attends or through the bait drops.

The live bait bite was great this week. The fish are moving into deeper water so the deeper canals and pits are my focus areas.
Tight lines!
